ذِكْرُ قِرَاءَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ {إِنْ سَأَلْتُكَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدَهَا فَلَا تُصَاحِبْنِي}

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "If I ask you about something after this, then do not accompany me. I asked you a question from Hamez, and you have reached me an excuse from (the Divine) presence."  

ابن حبّان:٦٣٢٦ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «{إِنْ سَأَلْتُكَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدَهَا فَلَا تُصَاحِبْنِي} سَأَلْتُكَ هَمَزَ {قَدْ بَلَغْتَ مِنْ لَدُنِّي عُذْرًا} »

Collected by Qurʾān, Aḥmad
quran:18:76 –

˹Moses˺ said, "If I should ask you about anything after this, then do not keep me as a companion. You have obtained from me an excuse."  

And for this reason, he said, ‘If I ask you about anything after this, after this instance, then do not keep me in your company, do not allow me to follow you, for truly you ˹will˺ have found from me (read ladunnī or ladunī), on my part, ˹sufficient enough˺ excuse’, for you to part company with me.
القرآن:١٨:٧٦ –

قَالَ إِنْ سَأَلْتُكَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدَهَا فَلَا تُصَاحِبْنِي ۖ قَدْ بَلَغْتَ مِنْ لَدُنِّي عُذْرًا  

ولهذا {قال إن سألتك عن شيء بعدها} أي بعد هذه المرة {فلا تصاحبني} لا تتركني أتبعك {قد بلغت من لدني} بالتشديد والتخفيف من قبلي {عذرا} في مفارقتك لي.
